The filing shows: 357 shares granted (acquired at $0.00), 6,920 derivative awards granted (RSUs, acquired at $0.00), and 140 shares disposed at $37.11 for total consideration of $5,195 (transaction code F — payment of exercise price or tax liability).

Key Details

• Transaction date: March 6, 2026. Filing date: March 10, 2026 (timely — within the Form 4 two-business-day requirement).
• Grants: 357 shares (A) and 6,920 derivative units (A, RSUs) shown as acquired at $0.00.
• Disposition: 140 shares (F) disposed at $37.11 each, proceeds $5,195 — reported as payment of tax liability/withholding.
• Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: Each restricted stock unit vests and converts to the cash value of one share on March 6, 2029 (per filing).

Context
The 6,920 units are restricted stock units (derivative awards) that, per the footnote, will convert to cash value of shares when they vest in 2029 — they are compensation, not an open-market purchase. The 140-share disposal is a withholding/tax-related transaction (routine) rather than an active open-market sale, so it should not be read as a directional bet. Awards and withholding are common insider compensation mechanics and do not, by themselves, indicate insider sentiment.
